My Personal Lycan King novel Chapter 44

VICTORIA'S POV 

"Do you think she went in shock?"

"What are you talking about? Are you crazy? Don't spout nonsensical things."

"But he is right, why isn't she awake yet?" 

"I think you should splash some more water on her face." 

"I have a better idea. Throw her into waters. She will wake up when she'll drown." 

"Daniel, you better take him out of here, before I decide it's much better to drown him." 

"Ignore him. But I do agree with his idea of splashing some water on her."

"I don't know. I am kind of feeling a bit jittery. Will she think I am some kind of monster?"

"Don't overthink. I am sure, she'll understand if we explain her and give her some time."

"Yeah, maybe you are right. I  don't think I can live without her if she decides to leave me because of my species. Hunter will be heartbroken, and I don't even know how will I be able to mend things with him." 

"We are not done with this mate topic. I think we need to consult some witch regarding the matter. Besides, she is such a brave girl, I don't think she will leave here like this."

"Yeah, but it's not like you come to know-" 

"Hey, look her finger moved." 

Uhhuh! What was all this noise around me? 

'Who are these guys, talking just above my head to annoy my sleep? Is aunt Marla back? She must be watching movies, I am sure.' I thought while trying to open my eyes so that I can greet her before she decides to go back to her boyfriend's place.

As I opened my eyes, the first thing that I noticed was a branch.

Branch? From when do I have branches in my room. Wait! Is that a tree?

"Hey, you are awake. How do you feel? Does your head still hurt?" Alexander said with a worried expression etched on his face.

What is he doing in my room now?

"Why would you ask that? What happened-" I stopped in between when the flashback of the events after the dance started surfacing.

Extending my hand, I touched Alexander's cheeks and sighed loudly when I felt his normal skin instead of the fur that I had seen. 

I need to stop watching those unrealistic movies. 

"Okay, umm...you can take her back home, that she is awake now. We'll meet later. Yeah?" Daniel said as they all looked at me as if I was some kind of mental patient.

Alexander helped me up and supported my body on the tree beside the lake.

Once everyone was out of sight, I looked at Alexander before exclaiming,

"You won't believe what I saw Alexander! Before fainting, I feel like I saw Chris, Aiden Sean, and Daniel changing into wolves! Wolves for god's sake! Can you believe that? Even you, you changed into a caveman with large nails and...and...you looked like...thunder..." I trailed off, while looking at Alexander, who wasn't reacting or saying anything anymore.

With his back to my side, he sighed loudly, and I couldn't help but guess why it was like that. 

I looked at the beautiful lake, which was shining under the moonlight, before muttering softly,

"You can start with your explanation." 

It wasn't hard putting two and two together anymore. 

I remembered asking Alexander so many times to go and meet thunder with me, but he never agreed to it, and would always make some excuse.

Apart from that, I used to hear growling and roaring sounds whenever these boys were together.

They also have a huge appetite. And that day, I was sure Alexander was wounded with a knife and there was blood on his shirt, but when I checked, there was not even a scratch.

His eyes would always change colors depending on his mood, and his voice will also change its tone from time to time as if he was a different person.

I might be wrong, but years of reading those online novels, movies, web series, indicated one thing only.

Alexander was a werewolf.

"But, how do I know that you are the person I am destined for?" I finally asked, keeping the fact that my heart was still beating fast, just be the thought of having some mate, at bay.

"The sparks that you feel, whenever you are near me, or we hug, hold hands, or like today kiss. This is a clear indication that I am your mate. You won't feel the same thing with any other male and it will practically break my heart and soul if you go with any other man because my only chance of having the love for my life will be destroyed." Alexander said, as he hid his face at the last sentence, though I was still able to see his glistening eyes, which meant he was feeling emotional.

This was complicated and I don't even know what should I do in a scenario like this.

"Look, Victoria, I don't want to pressurize you into anything. Accepting me or not, is totally up to you. I will never for e myself onto you, even if that means living in agony for my whole life. What I need from you, is love, trust, and care. Rest I will handle. 

Marrying me will indeed make you Luna queen and that will put some responsibilities on you, but I'll try my hardest to lessen them. I know it's new for you-" Alexander was concentrated on his explanation with his back towards me when I felt a piercing pain in my jaws again.

However, this time, my canines, my ribs, my bones, everything was hurting.

I gasped for air as the intensity of the pain increased. 

"If you want some time, I'll wait for you, until you are ready. I know being human, this is new for you and-" Alexander was still talking, however, none of his words matters to me right now.

All I wanted was for this pain to stop. Feeling the excruciating pain in my mouth, I lifted my hand with great difficulty before touching my lips.

Bringing my hand in front, I looked it has some blood on it, as I gasped for air while my canines continued to hurt.

"A-Al-" I wanted to say, but no words or sound, not even a whisper or hissing sound came out from my mouth.

As I looked towards the lake, so that, I can take some water and rinse my mouth which was choking on my blood, I saw another, more shocking sight in front of me.

As I looked at my reflection in the lake's clean water and gazed at my mouth, my hairs that had changed their color from pitch black to dark brown, and my eyes, I couldn't help but gasp at the sight.

What the fuckin hell is happening to me?
